Digital Story Mats

I sat in on a phenomenal training the other day by way of serving as the session "helper". My assignment was to help the presenter with any technology issues and ensure that attendees signed in and get their class credit.

As I was listening to this presenter show other teachers how to implement "Movie Talks" in their world languages classes, I got an idea, I wanted to share with you.

So in Kindergarten, we know students are expected to compose story problems or word stories as they practice the concept of joining and separating.Finding STORY MATS is as easy as googling and printing. But if you have a great curriculum resource, you might find a few there as well.

In the video, below, I reference Kathy Richardson's "Developing Number Concepts" book and she has lots of Blackline masters for Story Mats in the back.

My desire is to see teachers using technology in their classes (and by that I mean "students using technology") and introduce story mats to our students!

ENJOY!!!
